Compared with the Golden Triangle region, although the Golden Crescent Region is one of the three major sources of drug trafficking in the world, Nigerians do not like to deal with drug trafficking organizations there.
According to Sagir, those Afghans are crazy. They do not trust in their business and always like to make trouble for their religious beliefs.
At present, Nigerians are also seeking to expand their living space. Sagir came to the Americas mainly in French Guiana, Suriname and Guyana, hoping to gain a foothold in these three places.
From the current perspective, because there are no large drug trafficking organizations in these three areas, their activities are relatively smooth
Li Zai'an knew very well that Sagir's words were a bit untrue. You should know that those three places, especially Guyana, have always been the territory of Venezuelans. Nigerians cross the river. If they want to gain a foothold in those three places, they will inevitably have conflicts with Venezuelan drug trafficking organizations.
Most importantly, the scope of activities of Nigerians is obviously not limited to those three places. Their hands have reached Brazil. The suppliers of local drug trafficking organizations in Manaus are also Venezuelans.
In this case, Sagir came to Colombia, probably to reach an understanding and cooperation with the Colombians.
Although these bitter Nigerian niggers are fearless, they are just outsiders after all. In this land of South America, they lack the protection of government officials, and provoking several major drug trafficking groups is obviously not a wise choice.
But according to Osier, the current situation in Mexico is really not optimistic
The current rival of the Gulf Cartel Group is not just the old drug trafficking organizations of the Sinaloa Group, they also have to deal with their former subordinate organizations, the current traitor - Zetas Group
These drug trafficking organizations in Mexico, and even families, compete for a city or a piece of land on the 3,200-kilometer border between the United States and Mexico, often killing them with real guns and real ammunition.
What's more troublesome is that the Bay Cartel Group is different from the Sinaloa Group. Their drugs are not produced by themselves, but purchased from all over South America. The main source of drugs is Colombia.
Since the two governments of the United States and Columbia launched a joint anti-drug operation, the drug supply of the Gulf Cartel Group has also been most directly affected. Osiell came to Colombia in person this time in hopes to temporarily open a transportation channel to solve the urgent problem.
Several people talked on topics like this for a while, and Osier suddenly turned to Li Zai'an and said: Mr. Paul, I heard Mr. Rodrigue mention before that you seem to have the ability to bring a certain amount of goods from the jungle of Colombia to Brazil without being noticed by those damn Americans?
Li Zaian smiled without saying a word. From the topics he had just talked about, he had roughly learned what Osier might have talked to him.
In today's small gathering of four people, Rodrigue represented Maruranda, Sagir represented Nigerian Express, and Osier represented Mexico's Gulf Cartel Group.
The topic that everyone discusses is how to break the American blockade of South America, transport drugs out of Colombia and to Mexico, and what needs to be negotiated later is naturally the question of how to open this transportation route.
In the past, Colombia had three main paths for supplying goods to Mexico:
The first road is to walk the isthmus of Central America, enter Mexico through Panama, Honduras and other places.
The second road is to take the sea route and transfer it to Mexico via Haiti.
The last road is also a sea route, but the transfer station is Bridgeton, Barbados
Since the Americans took action against Panama the previous year and overthrew the Noriega regime in one fell swoop, the passage in the isthmus of the Central and American countries has basically been cut off.
This change has caused significant losses to the Gulf Cartel Group, and the division between the Zetas Group and the Gulf Cartel Group has emerged.
Since the United States and Colombia launched a joint anti-drug operation, the maritime anti-drug forces of the United States and Colombia have been extremely active in the waters of the Venezuela Bay to Panama. As a result, the maritime passage from Haiti to Mexico has been basically cut off.
In other words, the last cargo channel that Mexicans can now use is the one that uses Bridgeton as the transit station. At the same time, this channel is also the best choice.
The reason why this is the best choice is because the Republic of Barbados, which Bridgeton belongs to, is a member of the Commonwealth, and Americans will not easily enter the country's waters to enforce the law without authorization. In addition, the inspection of cargo ships entering and leaving the Port of Bridgeton is relatively relaxed.
Li Zai'an is almost certain that if Osiele had chosen, he would definitely choose a cargo channel such as Brazil to French Guiana and then to Bridgeton, because the safety factor of this channel is the highest.
Mr. Paul, if you don't mind, I'll just say it straight. Osiele has a respectful attitude that doesn't match his identity and speaks quite politely, which makes people feel comfortable
I don't hide it from you. The situation we are facing is very difficult. The American blockade has strangled our throat. And from the current situation, there is no sign of relaxation in the short term. As I said just now, it is probably imperative to establish a new channel of delivery, but the reality is that it is not possible to establish such a channel in one or two months. We need time
Unfortunately, what you lack now is time. Sagil spoke next to him. Because his tone of speaking was very calm, no one could hear his intention.
Yes, what we lack is time, Osiele nodded and said helplessly, I'm sure if our supply is not replenished this month, then next month, the two routes from Tijuana to San Diego and Juarez to El Paso will stop. That may be a disaster for us. In the end, we may have to withdraw from these two routes and hand over the territory to others.
Having said that, Osie Eld paused. He glanced at Sagil, and soon turned his gaze and stayed on Li Zaian'an's face: So, I hope Mr. Paul can do us a favor at this time and temporarily lend us the delivery channel in your hand. For this, we can pay any price.
What Osier said about borrowing was not to ask Li Zaian to hand over the entire transportation channel to him, but to help him get on the goods a few times to solve his urgent needs.
This form of borrowing is actually to ask Li Zaian to temporarily act as a middleman, get the goods from Colombian suppliers, use his drug transportation channels to bring the drugs out of Colombia, and then resell them to Osier in a safe place in some safe place
This transaction link is what drug dealers call the use of channels
Generally speaking, there is a charge for borrowing channels. The charging standard is the purchase price of drugs plus a certain percentage. In most cases, the price increase ratio will not exceed 5%.
However, the Bay Cartel represented by Osiele is facing a difficult situation. He previously claimed through Sagil's mouth that the lack of time was actually an hinting that Li Zai'an and the others were willing to increase the money. As long as they could borrow the channel, the price increase would be as much as he could.
Li Zaian was silent for a while. Regardless of whether he agreed or not, this matter would always be a trouble for him.
If he doesn't agree, it's obvious that he will offend a large number of people. Although Osiele speaks very politely, he is completely in a tone of negotiation or even begging, but if he really refuses him, this Mexican drug dealer will probably soon show his hideous face.
Although Mexico's drug trafficking organization ranks fourth in the international gangster rankings, it is definitely the first in terms of being ruthless and arrogant.
Although Li Zaian is not afraid of these Mexicans, he does not want to provoke a group of powerful enemies out of thin air. This is definitely not a wise move.
But from another perspective, Li Zaian doesn't want to provoke Americans. The world police are definitely more terrifying than any terrorist organization.
Throughout history, few of those famous anti-American strong men can end up well
Although Li Zaian is not afraid of death, he does not want to be an enemy of the US government, that would be too stupid
How many goods do you need to meet your needs in the next two months? After being silent for a long time, Li Zaian breathed and asked
Two months? Osier is also a smart person. When he heard Lee Zai'an mention two months, he knew what it meant
Obviously, he will borrow the channel, but the borrowing period is only two months.
In two months, no less than four thousand pounds
Four thousand pounds?
After hearing this, Li Zaian couldn't help but frown. Four thousand pounds were more than 1,800 kilograms, nearly two tons of cocaine.
If calculated at a price of $60,000 per pound, this is more than $200 million. If you take 5% of the loan fee, you will also have more than $10 million in profits.
Yes! Li Zaian gritted his teeth and finally nodded and said, as long as Mr. Rodrigue can ensure sufficient supply, I can provide you with 4,000 pounds of cocaine in two months
Osiele's face was happy, and he opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but was stopped by Li Zai'an's gesture.
I will take the commission of these 4,000 pounds at a fair price of 5% and will not ask you one dollar more, Li Zaian said, but the delivery method, location and specific time must be determined by me. Is there any problem?
Osiele was stunned, but soon reacted again. He exchanged a glance with Sagil and said: No problem, this is the right that Mr. Paul should enjoy, and we respect every decision you make.
Li Zaian didn't say anything. He took a deep breath and looked up at the night sky that had completely darkened - the weather was obviously not clear tonight, and there was not even a star on the entire dark sky.
According to Sagir, those Afghans are crazy. They do not trust in their business and always like to make trouble for their religious beliefs.
At present, Nigerians are also seeking to expand their living space. Sagir came to the Americas mainly in French Guiana, Suriname and Guyana, hoping to gain a foothold in these three places.
